McKinnie should have retired after last season, for the sake of his reputation. Lots of players would have retired once they got that ring but McKinnie obviously isn't the sentimental type. Another party awaits, along with paychecks that may not rival their former level but you've really got to be inept to get run out of this league if you can pass block a lick.

McKinnie knows he won't have to threaten last season's energy level, the playoff push. I'm still not sure how that happened. You don't see too many personnel flukes but that qualifies. He was a wreck two years ago. The playoffs are supposed to expose your weaknesses, not eliminate them.

There was no chance it would repeat. I was surprised the Ravens allowed him back.

Somehow I don't expect a big renewed emphasis on running the ball, if Bryant McKinnie is our left tackle.

Is B. Mac ready to play though? When is he "ready" in terms of the playbook? I was wondering the Monday night game vs. TB? It is not that far way. Short week next week, but longer prep time. I am not sure.

This is a desperation move and not a very good one. How many draft picks over the years have been spent on offensive lineman? We have to resort to signing a washed up player who ends up costing us two games . Then have to trade for another washed up player to replace the guy who was drafted in the 2nd round , who has been pretty bad himself. Then replace him with the other washed up guy and move him to a different position. When are we going to get someone who can actually draft decent offensive lineman (other than in the 1st round) like other teams do?

yes there is...to try and change the momentum and set an example...perfect opportunity...

It would be an empty move, and foolish. McKinnie is no savior and hardly a durable type. If you bring him in and cut Clabo you're asking for trouble. If the guys in the OL haven't gotten the "message" then they're not going to get the message.

clabos been a disaster...i'd rather lose and learn with some young guy with upside still than run with that hot garbage anymore...i don't see how it's any more trouble than what this unit has put on tape for 6 games now...
